Adaptive Clearing Toolpaths are commonly used for pocketing out large areas. Because of the way Adaptive Clearing calculates toolpaths, it is very efficient for odd shaped pockets with sharp corners. It can rough the outside to leave a boss standing, rough the inside of a closed boundary and even clear out open pockets.
